Touches on some geographical areas and so a map and wordwall are needed. This is a general overview video of 2:40.

"Abdul Abulbul Amir" by Percy French (poetry reading) What pronpted this poem is the news this morning the Danube is running red, not blue, due to the spillage of a great volume of toxic waste.
